New AI / Personal Space

So, I've noticed that certain critters (great bears, aquantis, beetles, couple of others I don't remember) sometimes attack when you enter their personal space (kinda like golems). I haven't quite worked out what the trigger for this is though. I just walked all over two great bears and got nothing, in both attack and non-attack mode..

But a minute ago, I ran into one, had it come after me, then got a second, and a beetle, then a third bear.

My current thought is that they'll attack you if you're in combat mode, within a certain amount of time of fighting something else (perhaps whenever contribution runs out) and in their personal space.

I'm about to go test it. Anyone else have observations on this?

Edit: Hmm, I stood ontop of a great bear and attacked a big golden beetle, nothing. But I attacked the bear, ran over a beetle, a wasp and too other bears... Every single one of them aggroed me. It looks like it's related to WHAT you've been fighting. Perhaps that thread they had ..?

Aye, I noticed this as well. Ran near some skeleton archers and one suddenly started shooting at me. I have no idea what triggered it.
